FatCat Records - Slack City Radio Show - 7 10 2024

Northern Meadow, taken from the debut LP of Kyoto born Rikuto Fujimoto, is a pastoral that aims to paint a picture of a morning breeze blowing through an Irish meadow. Ireland being somewhere that Rikuto would summer with his brother. The melody is haunting but light, and accompanied by the intimate hum of the room where it was recorded. The effect like the crackle of old vinyl, or a shellac 78. The music of Ethiopian nun, Emahoy Tsege Mariam Gebru, is a good reference point.

Ava Rasti is an Iranian-born artist, creating and composing out of the country’s capital Tehran. Both a pianist and bass guitarist, in her late teens Rasti founded the post- punk girl group ‘The Finches’. However, since 2020 she has worked solo, experimenting on the interface between ambient, modern classical and drone. Rasti’s interest in storytelling led her to soundtrack the movie, “Double Life”. In 2023, following a series of sonically evolving singles, she self-released the long-players, “Ginestra” and “The Living Room”. FatCat Records’ 130701 post-classical imprint has signed Rasti’s latest set, the forthcoming LP named “The River”.

The Berlin-based band Lawns were formed in the fall of 2020 by three ex-Londoners, Ben Lubin, Joe Green, and Tobias Humble. While influenced by UK post-punk, the bulk of the listening material that they cite consists of US “post-hardcore”. Listing artists like as Blonde Redhead, Death Grips, Deerhoof, Unwound, and Yo La Tengo as key sources of inspiration. Ben confirms, “We like good noisy stuff… I think that’s in our blood.” They all grew up watching videos of Fugazi, Jesus Lizard, Shellac and The Minutemen, and these forces of nature certainly inform Lawns’ incendiary live shows.

The Worrier is a pummelling, pounding paean to paranoia, and the absolute shit, which unchecked, fills our heads. From unpaid bills to imagined physical ills. Fuelled by mainstream and social media. Something like a sonic taser shock it’s the soundtrack to a potential nervous breakdown. Like the rest of the album it expresses, externalises an internal darkness, in a ritual of frenzied release. Its arrangement is like a series of seizures.

Don't Look At Me

Don't Look At Me (feat. Aimee Nash)

The Green Child return today with the mesmeric, second track taken from their forthcoming album ‘Look Familiar’. Is there a better name for a single than ‘A Long Beautiful Flowing Cape’?  Inspired by the media and online posturing this song unfurls with an infectious shuffling beat backed-up with a spry bassline. Shimmers of synth and twirling guitar tone provide a redolent vista for Raven’s vocal about distorted social contracts to flit through. Available to stream everywhere now, ‘A Long Beautiful Flowing Cape’ is also accompanied by a visual treat of a video made by Wu Li Leung using early editing technology for newscasts. Too much!

‘Look Familiar’ (out Nov 15)is available to pre-order now: https://upsettherhythm.bandcamp.com/
